[AT] Profane propane prices; was Fuel prices

[Stephen Offiler]

Around here (RI/CT) I have no idea what the owners are throwing in,
but often the ones I see are smoking like the dickens.  Sometimes it's
like driving into a fog.  On the Woodmaster site linked by Greg
Easley, I was surprised to see:

"Consider the height of the stack, and ensure that it is at least two
feet taller than the peak of existing homes within 300 feet for proper
exhaust."

I have NEVER seen a stack higher than about 8' off the ground on these
units.  Hmmm...
